Linklaw -
   this is all I can find at this point. I had to downsize the photo for the site but it reads: FV8351914895. At this point I do not see any other numbers on the block. Maybe Roush didn't do that in 95'?

Ok, so this I can understand...
   
   
   
   But this, who would take this car out in inclimate weather?

Alan, yes I can email you photos.
   
   TLegate, I can understand the tire replacement, bushings and other rubber components that typically breakdown over time, but I wouldn't think a 5 figure engine tear down would be required for a 95'. Any items specific to these Cobras that need replaced at interval or typical car maintenance?
   
   Linklaw, Thanks. I will give it another inspection.

Front swaybar..
   
   Coilover..
   
   
   I think i'm getting the hang of this[:)]

Woohoo! Success.
   Thanks nikbj68! I assume the certain amount of "re-commissioning" would be negotiated in the final price of the car.
   
   Time for a good cleaning under there, better figure out how to get this thing off the ground. Are there specific areas that you can place a jack on these chassis'? Last thing I want to do is dent something. I will get the wheels off and take more photos.

   Testing photobucket images of rear suspension "looks like traction control bars"

Linklaw - I did a quick look over but cannot find a stamp at the top near the rear of the intake manifold. I will take some more time to thoroughly look it over. Anywhere else to look for a stamp on the engine block? I don't see any metal tags either for identification. but again will keep looking
   
   MkIV Lux - Sway bar in the front, looks like traction control bars in the rear. The Cobra is so low to the ground that I cannot get any of my jacks underneath it (not even the motorcycle lift).
   
   I have more pictures but cannot figure out how to post here. Any assistance or is it easier to post on club cobra and link it (I did figure that one out).?
   
   Thanks again for the feedback.

Ok, so Peters memory was not correct or bad information somewhere down the line. I just took closer look at the engine...5 bolts on the valve covers = Windsor right?
   
   I edited the ad. I have a friend that might be able to put me in contact with the Roush guys who were working during the time of the build. I will see if I can get any more details. All I have now is a Roush invoice with 3 pages of parts (no engine identified) and labor for Development engineer, Development technician, Machinist, Engine build-up tech and Vehicel painter.
   
   Guess that's why I am on here ensuring what I have is good ;-)

MkIV Lux, Thanks for the assistance and information!
   
   I am waiting for a sunny day here in the Michigan fall to get it out and take some pictures. Any recommendations (I will post in Club Cobra)on where to advertise? Hemmings, Dupont Registry..

Can't figure out how to post pictures, but I have a couple on club cobra. Question I posted over there...Did all of the steering wheels leave AC with a signature? If yes, then who's was it?
   
   Thanks,

Thanks guys. The car looks mint. I have not found any issues looking it over and it was driven to my house. It has 659 miles on it. The 2 receipts that I do have total more than $100K ($62 for the rolling chassis and $43 from Roush).
   
   Now for opinions....Do you think this car (I know I need to get pictures posted so you can see the condition) would bring $100K today?
